Hide System Bar (Full Screen) for Android
Tried the rest, this is the best!. At last one that actually works. FORGET THE ABOVE COMMENT. A month after I installed it the devs have put a watermark on my screen which can only be removed buy purchasing points. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP
Home button doesn't work? You didn't mention that. GMD is the only one that works without root that only disables the keyboard. But for Samsung devices there's a red glow at the bottom of the screen where the navbar would be. Looks like I'm not getting any full screen until I root, then.
Update: I paid for the ad free version but it has a flaw. when in immersive mode you always have to hit the back button twice...very annoying so I'm gonna look for something else. These immersive apps are essentially unsupported as there haven't been updated in years. After a while the free version puts a watermark on your screen then makes you choose from some obnoxious marketing surveys to get rid of it. This is not a one time deal so I uninstalled it. At 1.99 I'm sure the add free version is much better
This app is really useful and is excatly what I was looking for. My smartphone have a small screen (4.7 inch) so while playing gta sa the on screen buttons were irritating me. With this app now I can play gta sa on full screen.
Best Ever System Bar Hider - The only one that works for me. Along the keyboard works perfectly fine. Others did not work and others that did did not allow keyboard to ⚒ when enabled. This gets a 5/5. Perfect with no bug. Thank you so much to the developer.
>>>UPDATE: liked until you slapped that watermark on my screen!! Screw that, I'm uninstalling!<<< Works fine, just fix the keyboard issue. Status bar button is also a very useful feature.
Hiding the bar actually pauses the app running, which kinds of makes it useless. Cannot use the keyboard or controller either, app just paused.
App is what I am looking for, but when the app it's activated the keyboard doesn't function correctly... Are you able to fix that? Always add a feature to swip down to hide the button...
Took 3 different surveys to unlock button that screws up everything but it gave me none of the credits. Also, it won't allow keyboard to pop-up so I can't do that either. Nice app idiots.
Turns on and off randomly. Makes keyboard use tricky. And lost ability to make online videos fullscreen; uninstall and reboot restored it
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK im using root mode with Lenovo A6010 and got BLANK screen. fortunately when im restart ,display back 2 normal gain, yet showing 'hide system bar' . too bad not compatible
This app won't allow you to use the keyboard when active it's a bug that needs to be fixed because it will not allow you to use your keyboard at all please fix it but other than that it's a good concept but needs more work.
Please enable the keyboard in normal mode as soon as possible because you have to go all the way back to the app just to enable it which is very frustrating. The app is very neat though. This kind of app would be the best to use if you want to stream videos in complete fullscreen mode on different kinds of browsers. ;-)
It works except the keyboard doesn't pop up when you need to type something. It also prevents Pokemon Go from starting up if you have it turned on, which is the app I need it for the most to prevent amoled burn in.

Simply does what it supposed to do. As for YouTube issue, just disable it and then reinable it again during the video, I wish that the developer could fix this minority as well as the keyboard limitation.
OK this works however can't use keyboard I'll be testing it. I think its an achievement to make this work without root. Awesome work. Many have failed on this.
Finally i found the solution for navbar showing while gaming,please add option hide the navbar or the notification bar.
Unfortunately my tablet is not rooted, this app works grate however Bluetooth gamepad controls gets disabled, please fix this, why does only the bottom OS navigation bar hide? The top status bar (time, bat etc) does not hide. VLC and other video apps can hide everything regardless if rooted or not
Works perfect on my experia z2, turn it on to hide keys and turn it off if u need ur keyboard.... Easy.
5/5... one thing... please consider a floating on/off toggle because the widget is not convenient
Is a good app, but need improvement. The keyboard don't work at the same time! There some bugs. Please fixed this.
I love the app very easy to use but please fix it I when turn full screen mode the keyboard will never appear and please add hidden button to hide/show the navigation bar,
Would give a five star review but unfourtinately enabling this app disables my home button. Galaxy s6
Youtube wont show video. Menu gets bugged out and not responsive. I have to press the back button to be able to click something in it...
Specially helpful in tablets. Annoying that you have to do a swipe-down from the notification bar and let the systems bar reappear before you can use the keyboard, but thats ok. Some widgets are locked in place. Guess somethings got to give. Still ok though.
Installed this app on my Galaxy S4 & instantly started getting problems with other apps. Whatsapp wouldn't respond to the keyboard, phone would unexpectedly lock up, txts not sending properly etc etc. Have deinstalled...& all is back to normal!
Works perfect on my experia z2, turn it on to hide keys and turn it off if u need ur keyboard.... Easy.
Awesome! Works with all apps and games. :) But can you please remove the watermark?
I've been trying to get rid of these most annoying bars that refuse to go away, especially from the B&W classic movies on YouTube. I'd give this 4 or 5 stars if it helped, but where are the HOW-TO instructions, please?
This is the one that's work, it event have built in feature for root phone. Awesome
With root keyboard works! Thanks, great job.
Works good in root access, but a little difficult to use then. Add option to show navigation bar but hide navigation buttons. This will be great
Please enable the keyboard in normal mode as soon as possible because you have to go all the way back to the app just to enable it which is very frustrating. The app is very neat though.

Doors not remove top bar
It's the best for xperia phones but needs to have some improvements like able to use keyboard in full screen mode and please can the water mark be removed.
It works perfectly on my nexus 5 but only issue iam facing is while typing the keyboard also goes off along with the status bar.. So all the tine when i have to type something i have to disabled the app. Otherwise it is the perfect app
it's very bad app not able to full screen game when I started games are paused
Should be able to chose which menus to disable (top or bottom. Not always both) and the lack of keyboard usage while this app is enabled makes it too cumbersome for me.

Using root mode it works perfectly. Use it when you need total privacy with no visible notifications at all. As a bonus it disables change apps list and that is great. Using normal mode should have a preference to not hide system bar, just the notification bar. Not so great without root and the mentioned option
